Overview
- Cuts affecting just under 30 employees were announced on LinkedIn across multiple departments and projects.
- This marks the third layoff at the studio in 2025 and at least the fourth in two years, following March and August reductions.
- The August cuts followed the cancellation of Microsoft’s Perfect Dark reboot, which Crystal Dynamics had been co-developing.
- Reporting places total roles eliminated over the past two years at roughly 60, underscoring ongoing restructuring.
- Crystal Dynamics says it will support affected staff during the transition, as public listings show few scheduled projects beyond Netflix’s Lara Croft season two and the Amazon-published Tomb Raider in development.
